Large paperclips make the frame, which is covered by colored paper
candy straws. Tooth picks (also covered by straws) form the corner braces. An eye hook is wire-tied on to make
a hanger.

Paperclips make the earring hooks. A wire tie hoop is affixed
to the earring with a clipped off eye hook. Slivers of colorful plastic straw, carefully singed to curl up their edges,
are mounted on the wire tie hoop and the cross-mounted toothppick.

I made a mobile of straws connected by wire ties. The eyehooks are
glued to the top of the straws. The bottom of the straw is folded up with a toothpick for a mast, with paperclips opened
to represent sailboats. A twist tie secures the sailboats.
